Session Type: Breakout Session

How can an institution’s strategic plan meaningfully shape its approach to data, analytics, and reporting? This session explores how one university developed a cohesive data strategy grounded in its institutional priorities, creating a foundation for enterprise analytics and scalable reporting. The presenters will walk through a structured framework that connects strategic goals to data governance, infrastructure, access, and organizational culture. Attendees will learn how to move from vision to execution by aligning data efforts across the institution, empowering decision-makers, and supporting a community of practice. Challenges and lessons learned will be shared alongside practical steps for other institutions seeking to develop or evolve their own strategies.
